    Give What You Can

A unique opportunity to look closely at objects from the Natural History collection, whilst trying out fun, experimental drawing techniques.

Still life drawings depict objects that are ‘still’ and don’t move. Still life artwork often shows inanimate objects from the natural or man-made world, such as fruit, flowers, and vessels like baskets or bowls. This session will feature an object from our Natural History collection, not usually on display.

Drop in, no need to book. Suitable for all ages and abilities.

Leeds City Museum is a Give What You Can venue. We don't want price to be a barrier to a great experience. Simply pick the price you can give when you arrive at the museum, and enjoy your visit.

Sunday 28 September - Autumn harvest
